November 2, Monday, the day after Halloween, and also Zhang Yanhang's second day in the Ashen World, at 5:08 AM, Demonized Swamp, Lucky Slot Machine.

After clearing the jackpot pool of the third prize at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field's Lucky Slot Machine and swallowing all monster corpses and drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang immediately teleported to the Lucky Slot Machine in the Demonized Swamp.

Of course, although it's said to be direct teleportation, in fact, there was an intermediate transfer. Zhang Yanhang first teleported to the suburban transmission channel connecting to Raccoon City, then traveled through the transmission channel to the Raccoon City sewer, and finally teleported from the Raccoon City sewer to the Lucky Slot Machine in the Demonized Swamp, totaling three teleportations.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big issue, as Zhang Yanhang had plenty of Energy to afford such trivial teleportations.

The Lucky Slot Machine in the Demonized Swamp shares the same refresh time as those in Raccoon City and the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, which is at five in the morning. Plus, with only a hundred monsters in the jackpot pool, it only takes five minutes to clear it, so Zhang Yanhang came to the Demonized Swamp first.

After all, although the jackpot pool in Raccoon City has also refreshed, the thought of standing still for thirty-five minutes is indeed a bit torturous, making one instinctively want to tackle this difficult task later.

Upon successfully reaching the Lucky Slot Machine in the Demonized Swamp, Zhang Yanhang skillfully pulled the metal lever on the side of the machine. Simultaneously, as time paused, the jackpot list floated before him. He glanced over it and found it remained unchanged from before.

In this jackpot list, Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger, Demonized Mammoth, Demonized Emperor Crocodile, and Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar each occupied twenty slots, while the remaining twenty slots were equally divided into ten each for the weakest Demonized Maned Tooth Beast and Demonized Canine Giant Ape.

"Now, thanks to the four points of Luck Value bonus I have, theoretically, the drop rate for killing Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars has improved from dropping a treasure box with every 28 kills to every 26 kills.

Although it's still a lot, it's indeed more hopeful."

Moreover, the last time Zhang Yanhang cleared the jackpot here without any dropped treasure boxes due to the drop rate, this time should combine with the previous monster count and at least yield one or two drop treasure boxes.

Of course, only combined counts of twenty for Demonized Saber-Toothed Tigers, Demonized Mammoths, Demonized Emperor Crocodiles, and Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars are meaningful.

As for the First Tier monsters with only ten slots like Demonized Maned Tooth Beasts and Demonized Canine Giant Apes, combining them is useless.

After all, even with his current Luck bonus, killing First Tier monsters still faces the Rank Penalty of needing 36 kills to drop one treasure box. Combining two jackpot pools with only twenty monsters is still insufficient to drop a treasure box.

"Therefore, I'll choose Option One, a First Tier Three Star ordinary monster, Demonized Maned Tooth Beast."

After simply reviewing the drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang immediately made his choice. This time, he must wash away the shame of having cleared the jackpot without a single drop treasure box last time.

Although such an outcome of killing dozens of monsters without any treasure box drop might be standard for other ordinary Awakened, Zhang Yanhang definitely would not accept it.

He would work harder to increase his Luck Value bonus, to offset more Rank Penalties, eventually reducing the penalty for killing low-level monsters to the same as killing monsters of the same tier, where killing just ten yields a treasure box drop.

......

November 2, Monday, the day after Halloween, and also Zhang Yanhang's second day in the Ashen World, at 5:13 AM, Demonized Swamp, Lucky Slot Machine.

[Successfully killed First Tier Three Star monster 'Demonized Canine Giant Ape (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +10.]

[Successfully killed First Tier Three Star monster 'Demonized Maned Tooth Beast (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +9.]

[Successfully killed Second Tier Two Star monster 'Demonized Emperor Crocodile (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +75.]

...

Although he skillfully cleared the entire jackpot pool again with Death Wave, Zhang Yanhang became more intolerant of this situation where it takes five minutes standing still to clear monsters in one second. He now only hopes that the Multiple Choice system at the Fifth Tier can help solve this problem upon promotion.

Zhang Yanhang is quite confident that the Multiple Choice system can solve this problem, as it usually understands his needs, with its only limitation being its current strength.

In theory, as long as the strength of the Multiple Choice system can be infinitely increased, or his Energy value limit infinitely extended, the Multiple Choice system itself will become like an 'all-powerful wish machine.'

Currently, for ordinary people, the Multiple Choice system could indeed be considered an all-powerful wish machine since most issues in their world can be solved with money, which is quite easy for the Multiple Choice system to acquire.

However, Zhang Yanhang, as a Fourth Tier Awakened, has wishes far beyond those of ordinary people, requiring constant elevation of his rank and Energy value limit, so the Multiple Choice system can meet his escalating demand for wishes.

After waiting slightly for a few seconds, to Zhang Yanhang's anticipation, several sparse drop treasure boxes did indeed refresh on the ground. As he expected, the Demonized Maned Tooth Beasts and Demonized Canine Giant Apes with lower tier and fewer counts dropped no treasure boxes.

Only the Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger, Demonized Mammoth, Demonized Emperor Crocodile, and Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar each dropped one treasure box.

Among these, although the Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger is also a First Tier Three Star monster, it managed to drop one treasure box with the number of forty across two jackpot pools. After all, theoretically, only 36 First Tier monster kills are needed for one treasure box drop.

But a First Tier Monster is ultimately a First Tier Monster, the Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger indeed dropped a treasure box, but it was only a long-missed Green Treasure Box.

The other three treasure boxes are divided into two qualities, with the Demonized Mammoth and Demonized Emperor Crocodile dropping Blue Quality Treasure Boxes as they are Second-tier Early Stage Monsters, while the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar, as a Second Tier Late Stage Monster, dropped a Purple Quality Treasure Box.

"Across two prize pools, I managed to take out forty Demonized Mammoths, Demonized Emperor Crocodiles, and Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars. Logically, if I could clear the third prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine in the Demonized Swamp one more time, I'd surely get another treasure box, but unfortunately, there's no more chance for that."

Zhang Yanhang probably could only wait until the next time he comes to the Ashen World to clear another prize pool. But by next time, he would be at least Fifth Tier, and the increased rank penalty is likely to make him again experience a situation where he can't get any drop treasure boxes, like déjà vu.

Therefore, in such a scenario, if he still had to spend five fixed minutes only to gain a few thousand Soul points without any drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang might just choose to give up on these low-level Lucky Slot Machines, as they are really a waste of time and yield no profit.

Thus, he can only hope that the Multiple Choice after the promotion will solve this problem, and if not, then he certainly can only abandon it.

After swallowing the hundred monster corpses and the four drop treasure boxes into the Stomach Space, Zhang Yanhang immediately started clearing the newly refreshed monsters in the Demonized Swamp Zone.

According to Zhang Yanhang's scanning results during the lottery process, which is during the Time Pause, although only less than five days have passed, the Demonized Swamp has already refreshed approximately five thousand monsters.

However, Second-tier Monsters still have not refreshed, with only First Tier Monsters like Demonized Maned Tooth Beast, Demonized Dogtooth Giant Ape, and Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger refreshing.

But after all, there are five thousand monsters, and even with his current thirty-six drop rate rank penalties, he should still obtain quite a few drop treasure boxes. Compared to a fixed one hundred monsters prize pool for the third prize, this large-scale clearing better utilizes Zhang Yanhang's recently increased Luck Value bonus.

......

November 2nd, Monday, the first day after Halloween, and also the second day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, 5:14 AM, Demonized Swamp, Eastern Forest.

It must be said, although Zhang Yanhang's high-speed monster hunting efficiency, boosted by the Movement Speed Coin, seemed useless in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field since all the monsters there were killed, in the Demonized Swamp, it proved to be very effective.

Previously, he thought his hunting efficiency had probably improved to the level where it covered eight square kilometers per second, and now it seems that it is indeed like this. With only a mere four hundred square kilometers of Demonized Swamp, including both killing and reclaiming corpses, he solved everything in less than a minute.

In reality, if only counting killing efficiency, his speed could double again, reaching sixteen square kilometers per second, but unfortunately, reclaiming monster corpses and drop treasure boxes slowed him by half, causing his total hunting efficiency to stay at eight square kilometers per second.

And when Zhang Yanhang was properly clearing here previously, it took him four days, the whole cooldown period from closing the Transmission Channel to reopening it.

Regarding this, Zhang Yanhang indeed is profoundly amazed. He can only say that the improvement in strength truly is evident, while also highlighting how much of a waste the Lucky Slot Machine, fixed at five minutes, is. The time to clear one prize pool could be enough for Zhang Yanhang to clear five Demonized Swamps.

And according to Zhang Yanhang's rough statistics, the approximately five thousand Demonized Creatures he just took out, even with the rank penalty of needing to kill thirty-six monsters to drop one treasure box, have contributed over a hundred drop treasure boxes to him. It must be admitted, a change in quantity is indeed capable of causing a change in quality.

Specifically speaking, since they are all First Tier Monsters, the refreshed quantity is actually about the same, basically around one to two thousand each type.

After all, the stipulated quantity in the Demonized Swamp area for Demonized Maned Tooth Beast, Demonized Dogtooth Giant Ape, and Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger is maintained at seven thousand, six thousand, and five thousand respectively.

And the automatic refresh in the Ashen World generally follows the proportional stipulated quantity, so the difference among the three is indeed not significant, just a few hundred.

As for the specific number of drop treasure boxes, one can only wait for a detailed count later to find out. He didn't count carefully just now, since they were all swallowed together with monster corpses, having a rough count is good enough.

After resolving all the refreshed monsters in the Demonized Swamp and with the third prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine, Zhang Yanhang didn't waste time and immediately teleported to the Goblin Plains to start clearing monsters.

Why didn't he clear the Lucky Slot Machine first this time, you ask?

That's because the Lucky Slot Machine on the Goblin Plains refreshes at 11 AM, and now it's only 5 AM, so it hasn't refreshed yet, meaning he can only clear it once every time he enters the Ashen World.

And with only clearing the newly refreshed monsters, Zhang Yanhang's clearing speed naturally became faster. The entire Goblin Plains, he took only about a dozen seconds to clear and even collected the corpses and drop treasure boxes along the way.

After all, the whole Goblin Plains only has an area of one hundred ten square kilometers, for him now, clearing it is merely a blink of an eye.

And according to the relevant scanning results, although the clearing time is shorter, Zhang Yanhang eliminated more monsters in the Goblin Plains.

After all, the stipulated quantity of monsters in the Demonized Swamp area is around eighteen thousand, but this side of the Goblin Plains has more than twenty-five thousand.

Moreover, clearing here is earlier, with faster refresh rate as the reason, although only around five thousand monsters refreshed in the Demonized Swamp, the Goblin Plains refreshed nearly seven thousand five hundred monsters.

Of course, among them, there are still no Second Tier or above monsters, meaning no Big Goblin or Goblin Shaman exists. Only the Big Saber Goblin, Goblin Spear Thrower, and Goblin Wolf Cavalry exist.

But although there are only First Tier monsters, with a staggering refresh quantity of seven thousand five hundred, they still contribute over two hundred drop treasure boxes to Zhang Yanhang, holding up against the formidable rank penalty, making Zhang Yanhang very pleased.
